Disclaimer
We reserve the right to change prices, specifications and displayed information without prior notice.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that products are shown as true to life as possible, information including images, product descriptions, product specifications and even pricing can only be as accurate as the website, user hardware and user software allows. We recommend that customers who are ordering specialist products, special order items, or are generally unsure about an answer to a question speak with our team first before ordering. Our friendly product experts are on hand 6 days a week to answer all of your questions, so make sure to use our LiveChat, email, and telephone facilities and please speak to us before ordering if you're unsure.
Please note, all door images generally utilise a standard 1981x762x35mm (78"x30") door as the main product image. This is an industry standard and some slight variation may occur in design for smaller or larger sizes. If you're ordering a smaller or larger size, then please contact us and we may be able to source a more lifelike image.
Warping, twist/cup and bowing of doors are not considered to be defects unless they exceed the following tolerances. Warping: 6mm in the plane of the door itself. Twist/cup: 2mm across the width of the door. Bow: 4mm along the length of the door.
Finally, for obvious reasons, we cannot 100% guarantee a colour match for a product from an image that is displayed online on our website. Displays and graphics hardware can produce slight variations in colours displayed and it's always difficult to ensure colours are accurately displayed on every display. The appearance of finished & unfinished doors are not warranted in any event. Natural variations of texture or colour of the timber aren't considered as defects.
We strongly advise against booking installers until your new doors have arrived and you have had the chance to check the product thoroughly. Whilst every effort is made to meet the delivery dates outlined on placing your order, occasionally these can be missed due to circumstances beyond our control. Regrettably, we cannot be held responsible for any consequential losses because of problems with delivery, defective products or the product not being acclimatised properly prior to fitting.
We ask that all goods are thoroughly checked for damages and faults prior to installation, with any issues reported to us before you attempt to install the product. This will allow us to sufficiently resolve any issues. Products that have been fitted are deemed to be accepted and may require a further inspection before any claim for reimbursement or replacement can be made.
Please speak to our team if you are unsure about any of the above information.
What if an item is out of stock?
In the unlikely event that there is a problem with the stock of an item you have ordered, we reserve the right to send you a like for like product of a higher value as an alternative. If this is the case you will always be contacted to inform you first. If there is no like for like product we can send, we will contact you to discuss this and make every effort to help find you a suitable alternative option instead, if you wish for us to do so. Failing this you will of course be entitled to a full refund.Due to the nature of our products, we often drop ship items direct from supplier. This means we rely upon regular stock updates from our suppliers to ensure our website is as accurate as possible. To avoid disappointment at the checkout, we always recommend you contact us before placing your order and we will be more than happy to check the stock of any items you wish to purchase.
Ordering made-to-measure custom items
We supply bespoke customisable doors in made-to-measure sizes to allow you to order a door in the exact specifications you require.
When ordering bespoke made-to-measure doors, customers are required to review and electronically sign the factory line drawings of their goods, which will be produced and sent after purchasing the goods. The displayed delivery lead time begins only after this step is completed.
Please note that delivery lead times are estimations and may vary due to shipping times. If you have any uncertainties, we encourage you to contact our sales team to discuss estimated delivery times and availability.
